Quote: "The law comprises eight chapters with 36 articles, regulating the promotion of activities related to the research, development, provision, deployment and use of AI systems; the rights and obligations of relevant organisations and individuals; and state management over AI activities in Vietnam. It also includes provisions on risk levels of AI systems; classification and notification of AI systems; transparency, labelling, and explanation responsibilities; and responsibilities for AI incident management and response, among others. The law sets the maximum administrative fine at VNĐ2 billion (over US$75,800 ) for violating collectives and VNĐ1 billion for individuals. For serious violations, the maximum fine may reach up to 2 per cent of the violating collective’s revenue in the preceding year. The law also introduces development mechanisms similar to Japan, such as top-tier incentives, controlled sandbox testing, a National AI Development Fund, and a voucher scheme for startups. Oversight will be centralized under the Government, with the Ministry of Science and Technology as the lead coordinator. The law will take effect on 1 March 2026."
